He deposes kings and raises up others

Today I deviated from reading through the Bible because of the inauguration of president elect Trump and the subversive groups protesting (75 of them) and a news media hoping for an assassination.
We as Christians need to be reminded of Gods word of who he establishes in power and how He uses that power for His purposes. We also need to be reminded how we are to be subject to authorities.

Daniel 2:21 He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Romans 13:1  (NKJV)
Submit to Government
13 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.

Jeremiah 25:9 I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon," declares the LORD, "and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin.

Romans 9:17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

Jesus is the Supreme Ruler over the earth.
Revelation 19:16 Context: He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

"he deposes kings and raises up others" yes even presidents.

"every soul be subject to the governing authorities." Every means every, even you!

"authorities that exist are appointed by God."
Good or evil authorities!

"the LORD establishes their steps."
Yours, mine, kings and presidents!

" I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,"
His servant! Who are we to judge whom God uses?

Jesus is the Supreme Ruler over the earth.
Jesus will be established as "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Remember, God is in control.
He knows the heart of man.
He knows the future of men.
He knows how the earth will end.
He knows He will win.
Satan loses!

Is your knowledge discerning?

Please pray for our president Trump and his family, for our congress and senate.

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Blessings, David
